The Branded Female Fencer
Black Witch, White Witch, Part 15 - Mountain of Fire 8 -
"Well, shall I start by explaining the circumstances surrounding this Bloom volcano? Bloom Volcano is an active volcano, a troublesome mountain that erupts fire at a certain cycle. If you leave this volcano when it erupts in earnest, a great deal of damage will be done around you. That's not limited to human life, of course. In preparation for this, there are races around this land that can be considered protectors of land like ours. In this land, it happens to be all dragon tribes."
"Did you just come out to talk to me?
"Yes, four species: Fire Dragon, Snake Dragon, Bronze Dragon, and Purple Stone Dragon."
Tajibo began to draw a diagram on the ground. Four races are depicted, mainly in Broome Volcano.
"The south is our fire dragon habitat. Bronze dragon to the west, snake dragon to the east, purple stone dragon area to the north. By the way, every race usually has very little interaction, but if you insist, you have a good relationship with Purple Stone Dragon. By the way, bronze dragons, snake dragons, are a very belligerent species, and they are the kind of people that make us laugh all the time. Well, the Fire Dragon is overwhelmingly stronger, and I know both the triggers, so it's no big deal.
By the way, the closest path to people is in the realm of bronze dragons. I can usually sneak you around. "
"That's not how it works in the current state of growing tension," he said?
"You're right"
Tajibo nods at Alphilice's allegations.
"I don't know why there was such a dispute as this one. We have persisted in indifference, even if we are not friendly with each other. Over the course of the past month or so, however, a number of full-scale battlegrounds have been opened. Even if you hurt him moderately, he won't pull his opponent off, and at last in the last fight, the opponent has a dead man. No, we're safe, but no matter how, they don't try to break their mouth. So, it's not good to keep doing this, because sometimes you guys are here."
"I see. That's certainly not a good time"
"That's the thing. That's why I can't help but think of Brother Pern. Well, he's a short-tempered guy."
"Ugh!
Together they laughed bitterly at Perun's attitude, which was to affirm Tajibo's words. Perun also seems ill-defined.
"That's why it's a difficult situation inside to get you guys safely to the public, even if it's us. I was wondering if you could help me get out of the land safely as soon as possible."
"I see you're getting through. If you try to forcefully cross the realm of bronze dragons..."
"Bronze dragons are a kind of race that originally despises humans. So the humans are not in this realm, only the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce visits here. I hope that happens once a year too. But even for us, there's no point in making our relationship with bronze dragons worse until we interact with humans. Do you understand?
"That's right. You don't have to work with us to give Bronze Dragon a pretext to open the battlefield. We'd better disappear."
"Then go ahead without a word. My father and the Fire Dragon will be wounded in honor."
Alphilis also knew that Tajibo blocked the noisy Alphilis word, but he wasn't thinking about the possibility. Again, this dragon can't be alarmed. Because wisdom turns around like a human being.
But Tajibo seems to keep what his father says. Alphilis thought that as long as he was on this land, he would no longer be treated unfairly.
"So, what exactly should I do?
"Fortunately you guys are strong. If we're going to put the bronze dragon guys on, we can go out and do it, but I don't want to be a fool to be attacked by the Snake Dragon guys because I disagree with the way they attacked us. And I can't even get in touch with the Purple Stone Dragon. So far, I'm thinking about raiding that settlement on Abenobe when the Bronze Dragon attacked me. Get out of this volcano in that gap."
"I see, that's the best opinion. But what do you guys do?
"Well, I'll make sure it does. Besides, you don't know what happens to us, do you?
In Tajibo's eyes, there was a clear rejection. He may not despise humans himself, but with the pride of doing something about ourselves, there is a clear rejection that humans don't get their hands on us. Alphilis had nothing more to say.
"... okay. Then just two. What kind of country is that on the west side?
"I don't know about the western country, but a few years ago it should have been the Trim Republic. It's only been 10 years since the founding of the country, and the situation seems unstable. I don't even know if it still exists. Well, that's the west side of the continent."
"Then isn't it very safe?
"It wouldn't be good, would it? Because the beasts at the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce seem to fit pretty well too. So you're right to go to the guild as soon as you get to a nearby town and hire directions. I don't even know the details.
What about the other one?
"Bronze Dragon's, when do you think the next raid will be?
"They have no idea what they're doing at night. If there were to be a next one, it would be after sunrise tomorrow. So I suggest you get some rest early tonight."
"Okay, thanks"
"So, it's my personal favor from here..."
The Alphilis requirements are over. No, I've been looking like Tajibo's going off. Svall and Pern looked frightened, but somehow they could imagine the next story.
